well sorry for not updating for awhile. Most of my problems seems to have gone away. Like the homepage resetting to an empty url (you know when you go to interenet options the homepage box would be empty) went away when my free trial of stopzilla ended. But my only problem at the moment is when i try updating windows, parts of the security center won't install. it just says they were unsuccessful in the installation. also when i go to control panel, network and interenet connections, and then Windows Firewall. When I try to access the windows firewall it just says "due to unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings"
